Who invented the mercury barometer

The barometer was invented by Evangelista Torricelli

Is this statement true or false when the only force acting on a falling object is air resistance the object is said to be in free fall

yes this statment is true.

Which force generates winds

Pressure differences

The deflection of wind due to the Coriolis effect is strongest at

Poles

Fair weather can usually be expected wit the approach of

A High Pressure system.

Which winds are caused either by topographic effects or by variations in surface composition

Local winds

General weather movement of low-pressure centers across the united states is from

West to east

When air at the surface diverges airflow above must

Converge, regardless of hemisphere

What forces influences upper air wind flow when a gradient wind is dominant

Pressure gradient force and coriolis force.

Which statement accurately describes a difference between a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer

One statement to accurately describe a difference between a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer is that a mercury barometer is a closed tube containing mercury. An aneroid barometer is a closed, flexible container of gas.

How in a la Nina event triggered

colder than average surface temperatures in the eastern pacific

The atmosphere balances the unequal heating of earth's surface by moving

Warm air toward high latitudes and cool air toward the equator

A decrease in the height of a column in a mercury barometer means that
